Lila Ashida Lila Ashida 5'8" | SG Las Cruces | 2023 State NM the guard from Las Cruces High School had a nice jump in our updated player rankings. She is a player that has made the most of this off-season and has been one of the top guards on our radar. Lila is a guard who can create her own shot and play off the ball. She does a great job at putting the basketball on the floor and slashing her way to the basket. Lila is a unselfish player who looks for her teammates at a high level. She averaged an impressive 12 points per game and 6 rebounds per game last season. Lila has received plenty of interest from at least 4 different college level programs.
Kamalani Anitielu Kamalani Anitielu 5'6" | PG Farmington | 2023 State NM the star point guard from Farmington High School made an impact this past season helping Farmington reach the 5A State semifinals last spring. She averaged an impressive 12 points per game last season and was one of the teams leading scorers. A strong part of her game is her long range shooting from beyond the arc which makes her a deadly offensive player. She has had that play carry over into this off-season and has grew her stock.
Ariana Sanchez Ariana Sanchez 5'10" | CG Albuquerque | 2023 State NM from Albuquerque High School has caught many people’s attention throughout this summer. After a solid regular season helping Albuquerque reach the 5A State Playoffs, she has remained productive here in the off-season. Ariana is a versatile guard that can play multiple positions on the floor. She shoots the ball really well and has the ability to put the ball on the ground inside the paint. Ariana looked good in team camps this past June and for her club team, the New Mexico Clippers. She is a player that will continue making a name for herself.
